Ingredients
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Balsamic vinegar
- Fresh basil
- Mozzarella cheese
- Chicken
- Cooked chicken
Directions
- Warm up chicken in oven, pan or microwave, take care not to overcook the already-cooked chicken. You just want it warmed through.
- Lay chicken on baking sheet. Alternate slices of tomato and mozzarella on each piece of chicken. Drizzle olive oil over chicken. Set oven rack 8 inches below heat source. Broil for 3-4 minutes, until cheese begins to melt.
- Season mozzarella cheese and tomato with salt and pepper (the already-cooked chicken should already be seasoned), drizzle a few drops of balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with fresh basil.
